CARD OF APPRECIATION
To the People of the Fourth Congres
sional District:—
I thank my friends for ther loyal
ty and support in the last, as well as
in former campaigns. I do not re
gret my defeat so much on my own
account as on account of my good
friends. Their defeat is a source of
sorrow to me but this sorrow is min
gled with pleasure for their support
was so pure and so unselfish and so
true. In every campaign, we made
a clean fight an, therefore, have no
unpleasant memories of any wrong
done anyone.
I have 'io ill will toward any voter
.
who cast his vote against me. Every
American citizen has the right to vote
his choice for any office without ques
tion. I hope to forget the unpleas
ant things that have happened in the
campaign and trust that good may
come even from the evil that was
done.
I served the people with all my
mind and soul and strength. The
mgn who labors writh his hands, who
plows and cultivates the fields is the
man whom 1 have tried hardest to
| serve. When his lot is made easier,
when the heavy hand of oppression
is removed from his back, the Gov
ernment will be strong and the peo
| pie happy. This truth is in my heart
! and I will labor for that as long as T
| live.
I surrender my commission with
out regret for it has no stain on it.
Whateverwrong I have done has not
been against the people. I have been
true to them and to their best in
interest.
I pray that the richest blessings of
Heaven may rest upon all the peo
ple of the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict for all time.
I am
Sincerely and gratefully,
Your friend,
T- U. SISSON, Winona, Miss.

i ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM
.{ , ■ ,
.
Chicago, August 25, 1922.
TO THE SHOPMEN OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM:—
S.nce the leaders of the railway shopcrafts ordered the members of their organizations to strike
July 1 against decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board, constant efforts have been made
to find a basis for a just settlement. I believe you are familiar with those negotiations and the un- ,
successful efforts to bring about a settlement which have been made by the Labor Board and individ
ual members of the board, by members of the President's cabinet, by representatives of various or 1
gamzations, and by the President h mself.
lhe final conference in New York August 23 further demonstrated that the differences which
’ ex st are of such „ fundamental nature that they cannot be composed. We of the Illinois Central
Sy.tem bel eye there is nothing to be gained by further negotiations on a question which admits of
jno compromise. Moreover, we believe the situation has been unfavorably affected by reports jre
f; fluently sent i ut by leaders of the shopcrafts that a nation-wide settlement was about to be effected
" anti that it. can serve no good purpose to continue to hold out these false hopes. While we are deep
1 int r ied in the general situation, we believe that we can accomplish a great deal more for that
. i of the public served by us, for our employees and for ourselves if we concentrate our future ef
%' 1 1 ""gely upon the conditions on our own ra Iway system.
■No one regrets more than we the unfortunate situation of our former employes who gave up
8their positions upon orders from the leaders of their crafts. On June 14. when the strike vote
Awa- being taken, we addressed a letter to all Illinois Central System shopmen in which we appealed
ii bi t*>r judgment and counseled them not to vote in favor of placing in the hands of their
H i s the power to call a strike. We were of the opinion then that if they placed such a power in
*t! h ’oHs of their leaders it would be unwisely exercised and a strike would be called, resulting in
m -uffering and hardships to the strikers. We had the interests of our shopmen at heart and
' ict want to fate the siiuati n of having to fill their places. We appreciated that in any emer
. - n y which might arise the public welfare demanded that our trains be kept running.
On July 10, ten days after the str.ke had been called and some of our shopmen bad corn
er <d with the orders of their leaders to desert their posts, we again addressed them. The public
i to bo served with transportation and, if our shopmen who left our service were not going to
j un to their positions, new men had to be employed to fill the vacancies. W® did not want to
j*'e 'o - mw men until we were abso’utely sure that those who went out would not return. It
' i'o - became necesary for us to fix a time within which those who left their positions could *•
^m without o-s of pens on, seniority and other rights We waited ten days for our former am
■ nloyes to make up their minds, hoping ail the time that they would return, and after having waited
" at long we gave them another whole week within which they could return without loss of any
I of their rights.
Holding, as we do, that service to the public is our first and highest duty, we could no longer
continue a waitine policy and thus run the risk of not being able adequately to take care of those
depending upon this railway system for transportation service.
After hav ng taken every precaution we could consistently take in behalf of the men who went
out, we began employing new men. The men who took the places of those who left our service have
courageously and efficiently assisted us in rendering to the public an unimpaired transportation ser*
vce. We believe they are entitled to very great consideration, not only from us, but a^so from our
N t ons. We stobmit that no fair-minded person with a correct understanding of the situation would
• have u> deal unfairly by these men.
There ia no dispute about the right of wckmen to leave their positions. Neither can there
!! any qu t on about the right of others to take the places thus made vacant, nor the right of any
man to w k when and where he may wish. Tho ge rights are essential to civilization. The Presi.
lent of the United States has asserted that he will, if necessary use the full power of the United
Stat'3 Government to sustain these rights. Neither can there be any question as to the attitude of
the Illinois Central System toward labor organizations. We believe in the principles of organiz
ation, and we stand ready to work hand in hand with those organizationswhich will work with us :n
serving the public.
From the beginning of this controversy we have felt that the members of the shoperaft or
.anizat'ons were being misled, and it is a matter cf deepest regret to us that we were not able
!fto induce more of our shopmen to guard aganst ill-advised action. We believe that the vast ma
v jority of our employes in all departmeits, as well as the vast majority of our patrons, feel in their
£ hearts that the Illinois Central System has dealt fairly by the striking shopmen. In addition to
ithe letters which we addressed to them, reason n g with'them and exhorting them to let their
2 bett; r judgment prevail, our officers appealed t o them personally, worked with them and did every
thing they honorab’y could do to induce them to vote against the proposed strike; to refuse to give
‘up their positions after the strike had been called, and, finally, to return to the service in time to
c preserve their pension and seniority rights unim paired.
j We hold no feeling of resentment toward those of our former shopmen who, as a result of
^being misled, gave up their positions and the benefits and privileges which they formerly held. So long
a, vacancies exist, we ®hall give preference to those of our former shopmen who have not resorted
’’ to vio’ence or damaged company property.
Sj However, frankness compels us to make clear that the vacancies are being rapidly tilled, uur |
mechanical forces are largely depleted at only one of the main shop plants on the Illinois Central sys
£ tem. At all of our other shops our mechanical forces range all the way from substantial forces to I
more than 200 per cent of normal. This dispar ity has made it necessary for us to transfer some of
oor work from the shops having the smallest forces to those having the largest The total number
of men employed in the machanical department of the Illin nois Central System on June 30, the day
before the strike, was 13,607. On August 24. after almost two months of the strike, there were
12,653 emp’oyes in the mechanical department, of whom a very large percentage were old employes
who remained faithful by refusing o strike. Therefore, on August 24 we had only 854 fewer em- |
ployes in the mechanical department than on the day before the strike.
On July 3, the Labor Board, by resolution, called for the formation of new organizations to
take the places of those which had refused to abide by the decisions of the board. The following I
is quoted from that resolution: ,
Whereas, in the future submission of disputes involving rules, wages and grievances of said
classes of employes of the carriers it will be desir able, if not a practical necessity for the employes |
of each class on each carrier to form some sort of a n association or organization to function in the rep
resentiatonof said employes before the railroad Labor Board in order that the effectiveness of the
Transportation Act may be maintained. " I
Now, therefore, be it resolved that it be communicated to carriera and the employes remain
ing in the service and the new employes succeeding those who have left the service, to take ateps I
as soon as practicable to perfect on each carrier auch organizations as may be deemed necessary for (
the purpose above mentioned, and.
Be it further resolved that if it be assumed that the employes who leave the service of the l
carriers because of their dissatisfaction with any decision of the Labor Board are within their righta
in so doing it must likewise be conceded that the m en who remain in the service and those who enter
it anew are within tbeir right in accepting such employment—that they are not strikebreaker!, seek
ing to impose the arbitrary will of an employer on employes—that they have the moral as well as the
legal right to engage in such service of the American public to avoid interruption of in dispensable
railroad transportation and that they are #nti tied to the protection of every department and
branch of the Government, state and national.
In response to the resolution of the Labo r Board, the employes of the mechanical depart
ment of the Illinois Central System have perfected their own organizations, as follows:
Association of Machinists, Helpers and Apprentices.
Association of Boilermakers, Helpers and Ap pprentices. *
Association of Blacksmiths, Helpers and Apprentices.
Association of Carmen, Helpers and Apprentices.
Association of SheetMetal Workers, Helpers and Apprentices.
Association of Electricians, Helpers and Apprentices.
The foregoing organizations furnish the machinery through which representatives of the em
ployes may at any time obtain conferences with representatives of the management. In case dif
ferences arise which cannot be composed, the way is always open for an appeal to the Labor Board.
The feeling among the employes of onr mechanical department in regard to the desirability of these
organizations is evidenced by the fact that only 185 failed to join them.
In closing this communication, we desire to avail ourselves of the opportunity to extend the
sincere thanks of the management to those shopmen who have remained loyal and faithful in the
crisis through which we have been pass1*'" and hav e helped us to discharge our obligation to the
public.

Come, 0, Come
Thou missions’* ended;
I am calling, come thou home.
Long thou has wandered
In my pathway
Never from it, hast thou roamed.
I have tried thee with afflictions,
Even to the end of time;
Thou art faithful. I’ll reward thee,
Come receive what’s truly thine.
Listen, Loved Ones, ’tis a comfort,
Just to know that she is born*
To a home that God has given,
Ne’er to earth will she return.
